In top form lately: Bayern want HSV keeper Heuer Fernandes! | OneFootball

The still unresolved future of goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes is one of the key personnel issues at HSV.

The 33-year-old has been one of the team’s absolute top performers for years and played a decisive role in Hamburg’s promotion. His performances have also held up in the Bundesliga. More than that: with a string of strong displays, the veteran has apparently played his way onto FC Bayern’s radar!

One thing is clear: according to consistent media reports, Heuer Fernandes’ contract will automatically be extended until 2027 if HSV avoid relegation and he reaches a certain number of appearances. The goalkeeper has already met the latter condition with 27 matches, and from a sporting perspective, there is also plenty to suggest the clause will take effect. With seven matchdays left in the season, the lead over the relegation playoff spot stands at six points. Against FC Augsburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m., Sky), the Rothosen can take another big step toward staying in the league.

HSV goalkeeper attracts Bayern interest

But that still does not mean his future has been finally settled. On the contrary, the club and player are currently negotiating an early extension. HSV would like to tie down their leader for the long term, and the goalkeeper himself also feels at home in the north. However, there is a sticking point: Heuer Fernandes is demanding a significant salary increase. Talks are set to continue in April.

If no agreement is reached, things could get interesting in the summer. According to a report from Sport Bild, FC Bayern in particular are also looking at the Hamburg shot-stopper. The record champions are searching for an experienced backup for young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig in the long term. That is especially true if Manuel Neuer’s era finally comes to an end.

There is also interest in Heuer Fernandes from abroad. So if HSV fail to reach an agreement, a transfer would certainly be conceivable. On top of that, the club would only be able to generate a noteworthy transfer fee until 2026.
